We knew we had to have special guest, Dr. Camille Kolu, on the show when we heard her amazing talk about buffers at last year’s Thompson Center conference. This week, our wish comes true as we discuss how buffers can contribute to our focus on improving trauma-informed practices. But, what exactly is a buffer and how does it differ from other buzzwords circling trauma-informed treatments? And is there such a thing as an evergreen TIC playbook that clinicians should be using for every client ? Spoiler: That treatment you assume must be universally trauma-informed probably isn’t!

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
